The campaign aims to launch an educational and eco-friendly water product from Volvic and LEGO to significantly increase children's engagement with the water category. The objectives are to educate consumers, especially children, about recycling and its benefits through hands-on learning linked to STEM subjects. The campaign also strives to encourage more ethical practices and community involvement. It will measure success through sales, participation rates, and environmental impact over a 6 month period beginning in February 2016 utilizing in-house and agency promotional resources.
2. Through the launch of a new ethically aware and eco friendly water product, this campaign
has been designed to embody, promote and communicate ethical behavioural and recycling
practices directly to local schools and communities. The campaign aspires to serve as a lasting
example of end use innovation providing consumers with an educational tool in terms of actively
demonstrating the concept of recycling. Working in alignment with LEGO education
participating schools are provided with a syllabus for hands on learning, designed not only to
enrich the in house curriculum programme but to allow teachers to effectively collaborate
across subjects through cross curricular links with STEM. The target market range will be
reached using the most appropriate forms of communication and promotion in order to actively
promote the associated educational, environmental and health benefits of the product.By
merging both physical and digital aspects of promotion consumers are encouraged to engage
with each other, inspiring creativity and encouraging interaction with the educational play
material both in school and at home. The aim is therefore to excite consumers through
engaging forms of promotion and innovative product design in order for them to be able to
effectively develop into socially responsible members of society through a very unique and
singular learning experience.

Inspiration: Development of icons to actively communicate and demonstrate the
building concept in 3 simple steps, to be used throughout all forms of promotion.
Inspiration: Provide play and engagement opportunities where ever possible
throughout all forms of promotion, LEGO indicates that humans are social by nature
and want to engage with brands, and each other, at any opportunity.
To be used throughout promotion
Inspiration: Provide visuals to display the final outcome / show what you can do
with the product, demonstrate how simple the concept is to encourage
consumers to want to explore the brand and find out more about the product
Augmentedreality
Inspiration: In-store product scanners. Opportunities to merge both digital and
physical aspects of promotion, to be applied to the educational
tablet application and app extension allowing children to bring their 2D creations to a
3d reality and explore world through the eyes of the Volvic Connect camera.

Objectives
Collaborative brands, Volvic and LEGO, aim to launch a new ethically aware and eco friendly
water product with intent towards significantly heightening young children's engagement with the
water category. The campaign strives to educate consumers through a very singular, hands on
learning experience in relation to effectively communicating the concept and benefits of recycling
through cross curricular activities linked through STEM. The objective of the campaign is not only
to assist in reducing the associated production and manufacturing processes of the product but
also to encourage local cultures and communities to work together towards supporting more
ethical behavioural practices in the area. Children are therefore encouraged to engage, interact and
learn with the product and promotional material in order to encourage learning activities, both
in school and at home.

Objectives
m E A S U R A B L E
Increased engagement with the category will largely be measured by volume sales across
a 6 month time period in addition to the number of schools and communities that are
actively participating in the project. Media coverage and environmental statistics will also
be a key performance indicator in terms of monitoring the level of improvement in ethical
behavioural practices amongst local areas. Consumers response and engagement with the
various promotional platforms will also allow the brand to measure how effectively it
has met its objectives, this will be in terms of the number of app downloads, visits to
the website, creation uploads and the number of bottles that have been donated to schools
as part of the campaign.

a C H I E V A B L E
Initially the campaign will launch nationally
over a 6 month time period allowing the
brand to effectively monitor its progress in
order to establish potential for expansion and
future developments. Backed not only by a
global player of the children’s toy industry
but by the undisputed leader of the bottled
water market, accounting for almost half of
the entire categories promotional spend
(Mintel, 2014), collaboration across brands will
therefore allow objectives to be met through
un-restrictive budget allowances and the
ability to effectively promote the product to
mass markets as well as more direct target
customer base.
12. Objectives
s m a R t
r E A L I S T I C
Adequate resources will be used in terms of producing and developing promotional methods
of communication towards ensuring that all of the objectives are successfully met.
Innovative means of above of both above and below the line promotion will therefore be
produced in house and by third party agencies in order to successfully meet the
requirements of the objectives in the time scale that has been prescribed. In store promotion
along with the company website, posters and animations will all be created in house, all
other forms of promotion will therefore be outsourced and calculated to sit comfortably
within the budget plan.
Promotional developments 3 months running up to launch* see campaign plan.
A combination of
in-house and third

13. Objectives
s m a r T
t I M E D
Volvic Connect will launch its full product range the week commencing 22nd of February
2016. This will allow for the annual health trend to kick in along with providing enough
time to execute the 3 month donation period in which members of local communities are
able to donate their empty bottles to schools allowing them to compete in the Community
Connect competition the first weekend in June. Launching and educating consumers in
relation to the product prior to the 6 week holidays helps to ensure that the objectives are
not only met throughout the 6 month time period but also continue to be met in alignment
with ongoing promotion in the hope that consumers will continue to learn, play and build
with the product outside of school and throughout the six week holidays. Objectives intend
to be met by the end of the 6 month time frame however as certain aspects of promotion
are ongoing, beyond the 6 month campaign plan, objective related statistics are expected
to continually improve over the course of a year.
